Centrally located between the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west and the beaches in the east, Wake Forest offers the best of both worlds. An average snowfall of 7.5 inches temporarily transforms the rolling hills of the Triangle into a short-lived winter wonderland. Balmy summer days, with average temperatures in the mid-to-high 80's, send residents packing for the lakes and beaches. An average yearly temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit is one reason why the area is known as "the great outdoors." www.wakeforestnc.gov
